# Project

A GCP Project is the primary container for organizing and managing Google Cloud resources. It provides an isolated environment with its own settings, permissions, billing, and quotas. Each project has a unique ID and is used to group related services, APIs, and workloads, making it easier to manage access control and track costs.
